Question: Is there a website where you can look through your family tree!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are a few that are for submitting family trees!.
www!.rootsweb!.com and select world connect link
www!.ancestry!.com where you can search or make your own
www!.gencircles!.com

Just remember people spend more time on their direct branch of the tree and collect whatever they find for brothers sisters cousins etc so it might not be correct!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are many genealogy websites, Most have family trees!. They are not submitted by some experts working for the websites but by the subscribers, folks like you and me!. The only way any of your family would be on one is if someone has submitted it!. They won't have living people as that is considered an invasion of privacy and can lead to identity theft!.

Information in family trees on ANY website, free or not free, should not be taken as absolute fact without verifying it with documentation!. Most of the trees are not documented, or poorly documented!. You will see different info on the same people from different subscribers!. Then you will see repeatedly the same info on the same people from different subscribers, BUT that is no guarantee at all it is correct!. A lot of people copy without verifying!.

So, if someone has told you they found their complete family tree online, please tell them unless they have documented it with research they don't know if all the info is accurate or not!.
The info can be useful as CLUES ONLY as to where to get the documentation!.

Anytime you wish to research your family tree, there are lots of good people on this board that can give you some great tips and advice!. Just ask!.

Rootsweb and FamilySearch!.org are 2 good free sites!. I like Ancestry!.Com the best for the amount of records it has online!. You always have to distinguish between the user submitted family trees and the actual records that the sites have obtained from libraries, government records etc

Cyndi'List!.Com is a website that will give you links to many websites, free or not free, helpful in genealogy!.

You won't be able to do it all online!. It takes a lot more work than putting a name in a website or your search engine and coming up with everything you want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you have to trace it yourself unless you pay for it, try looking on www!.family search or www!.freebmd, enter your details and any info you know good luckWww@QuestionHome@Com
